A substItute for Explosives In Mines

Scientific journals say it is now pro-
posed to do away with the use of ex-
plosives in mines where their use is
attended with danger, and substitute
cartridge, one portion of which is
filled with mixture of finely-divided
zinc and zinc oxide, which collect in
the condensers of the zinc retort. while
the other part is filled with dilute sui
phuric acid. This cartridge is to be
put in place as usual, and then by
suitable mechanism, the acid allowed
to flow into the zinc. Hydrogen is
then evolved, and by its expansive
force the rock is broken down, with
out combustion or violent explosion.

Crino.ine.

In 1864, tho year in which the mod
ern hoop reached its elimination, says
the Il gondttt, who could have mag
ined it would in q little less than fifteen
years be gradually contracted, and
finally thrown aside, with not even
the hint of crinolet or hustle to re-
mind the fashionable women of that day
what she might expect in another ten
or fifteen years? Even in 1881 ~,
when the pouti'e and bouffant drapery
at the back near the line of the waist
began to assert itself, none but q stu
dent of the histo and traditions of
dress would have v.ntured to predict
that it would havo reA he'd its present
proportions. Now the lovers of the
plastic period, the deyotees Of the as
thetic school, may wiring their hands in
despair. The hustle has become Grim
oline, and crinOline threatens to encir-
Gle the whole of the female form di-
vine, below the waist line, at least, and,
sooner or later, to become the hoop in
one or another form.

The Collision Was Arerted.

One OF the bravest as we'll as the
most notable river men who ever nayi-
gated the Ohio, saws the st. Louis
Glob ID mo rat. is Captain David NJ.
Dryden, who now lives in falIard
County, Kentucky. Captain Dryden is
serenty-fve years of age. and spent
sixty years OF his life on the river. In
1896 lie was pilot on the Swiftsure, q
mall-line packet plying between Louis
VILE and Cincinnati. The Paul Jones
also ran in the same trade, and q great
rivalry existed between the two boats.
One cold dey in January. 1886, both
boats pulled out of the Louisville har
Dor, and the captain of each resolved
that his craft should be the first to
land at Cincinnati. Pine knots, coal
oil, bacon, and everything that would
make blaze were thrown into the fur
naces, and the engineers received or
ders to turn her wide open. For sew
eral miles they were exactly side by
side, and, although both engines were
doing their utmost, neither had the
advantage. The captains and crews
were greatly excited, and the boats
qulvered under the immense steam
pressure. Finally the Swiftsure began
slowly to forge ahead of its rial Syl-
vester Edwards, pilot Of the Jones, saw
the race was lost, and instantly resolved
that if he could not distance the Swift
sure he would sink her. He accord
ingly turned his how toward the side OF
the other boat. Captain Dryden whis-
tied and shouted to him to keep off,
but lie did not heed the signals, and in
n few moments the sharp, iron-covered
bows of the Jones we're nearly against
the Wiltshire. Captain Dryden realized
at once that unless something was done
his boat would be sunk and his pas
sengers drowned. Hastily snatching a
rife from the floor, he fired through
the window, and the ball, striking Ed
wards in the center of the forehead.
killed him instan lv. The Jones then
yeered off and the collision was averted.
Captain Dryden was tried in Burling-
ton. Done County, and acquitted.

The Black Flag.

Tomorrow and Tuesday evenings
Edwin F. Thorne, who by the way, is a
brother of the lamented Charles r.
Thorne, Jr., opens the Theatre with
Pettit's sensational melo drama, The
Black Flag. The play is not, as the
name nigh in dictate, arecord of pirate
life, nor has it anything to to do with
life on the high seas. note on the
bills conveys the information that
when a prisoner escapes from Ports
mouth prison, they hoist black flag. -
and this furnishes an index to what
may ybes expected. Perhaps as com
plete a summary Of the piece as any
that could be written is found in the
following notice from the Spirit-Of the
Times:
The Black Flag still floats from the roof of
the Union Square Theatre; there is the same
cry upon the outer wall, otherwise in the
vestibule, and the approaches TO the box
Office OF still they come" and the word
after the curtain is up, is, Hang up the
Banner" There is no need to question the
quality or merit OF play like this, when it
attracts such audiences. These houses,
OuOth the business manager, whose utter
ance finds hearty echo from ThOrne-'tthese
houses mean money-pr0ht, and that's
what we are here for, and what tIis rlsy
was put on the stage to win for Us. We don't
know anything about high art, the purity of
the drama, catering to the Intelligence of
the people or any such rot. If the public
didd'l want this sort OF thing they wouldn't
come to see it 1he BLACK Flag has caught
on, and that is enough, ano while she waves
in the breeze, its ''wafture" will all the
season doubtless on the road bring profit 70
its managers.
